Kristine Lombardi Illustration: editorial, advertising, packaging & more!

Kristine Lombardi is a professionall illustrator who has worked with high profile clients such as Readers Digest, Harper Collins, Simon and Schuster, Vanity Fair, Domino Magazine, and Rachael Ray.Miss Lombardi knew she wanted to be an artist the moment she picked up her first crayon-- sometime around 1973. In grade school her artistic flair showed in projects such as her popsicle-stick puppet rendition of Cinderella replete with diorama shoebox stage, a meticulously detailed and illustrated herbarium for science class and an epic tempera recreation of Vermeer's "Art of Painting". She began her career as an art director working in advertising on the Pepsi account. There she gained invaluable experience working with concepts, deadlines and budgets. After years of penciling layouts and illustrating boards for new business pitches, Kristine realized that drawing was her favorite part of the job. In 2003 she decided to go out on her own and is now happy as a clam. (if clams are indeed, happy) New she gets to work with wonderful clients, many of whom are also art directors and delightfully pleased by Kristine's timeliness, enthusiasm and attention to detail. When she is not at home working under the watchful eye of her tortie cat Miss Feckles, Kristine can be found scavenging for the vintage ephemera that oft appears in her work, collecting children's books from the sixties and dreaming of the next trip to her beloved Paris.
